    On the second day after the Luo Family launched the siege of Kokura Castle, Sugi Takakage and Sugi Shigeki in the Kokura Castle were originally prepared to continue facing the Luo Family's fierce siege, but they suddenly discovered  In the next two days, apart from continuing to surround Xiaocang City, the Luo family's army did not attack the city again.  Although the Luo family instead launched a harassment war against Xiaokura City at night, at least the defenders in the city no longer had to directly engage in fierce cage battles with the Luo family, so everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.  Just when the defenders in the city relaxed, on the morning of the fourth day after the Luo family's army besieged Xiaocang Castle, the Luo family suddenly launched an siege against Xiaocang Castle.  But compared to the last attack, this time the Luo family's army launched an attack in a new way.  I saw that they were not using the method of climbing the city wall with a sea of ??people to attack the city. Instead, they carried out a large arrow-blocking shield made of wet branches and trunks to resist the bow and arrow attacks on the city, and then quickly moved towards the city gate.  Everywhere close.  "Quickly, boil water and scald them to death." Sugi Shigeki, who was sitting on top of the city near the Shoumen Gate, saw this. Although he didn't know what the Luo family's military force under these shields was planning to do, he immediately felt an unpleasant feeling in his heart.  It felt wonderful, so he immediately ordered.  Ordinary city defense weapons such as arrows, stones, and wood were obviously unable to cause much damage to the Luo family soldiers under these shields. However, the kerosene in the city was basically used up, so he had to temporarily order people to go.  Boil water and prepare to use boiling water as a weapon to defend the city.  It¡¯s obviously too late to boil water now.  I saw this huge "shield" of the Luo family quickly approaching the door, and then stacking bags of things beside the door. The last standing one directly lit the ignition wire.  He hid directly under the huge "shield".  After the ignition wire was ignited, a puff of green smoke came out.  Then there was a "boom".  There was a loud bang at the door.  "Boom!" Before Sugi Shigeki on the top of the city could figure out what was going on, an almost identical loud noise came from the Otemon gate to the west.  Two loud noises almost shook the entire Kokura City, and some of the city's defenders were so frightened that they sat directly on the ground.  These things that make loud "bang" noises are naturally the improvised explosive packs that the Luo family made in the past two days.  Due to this deployment, all engineering weapons, gunpowder and other materials were prepared to be transported via waterways.  (The main reason for not carrying these things with the army was to speed up the march, so that the army could quickly pass through the Aso family's territory and launch a lightning attack on the Bunzen area. In order to increase the speed. This time the army only carried enough food for the army for five days.  of food and grass, that is, if the materials delivered by the country¡¯s navy have not arrived tomorrow, then everyone, including Zhengliang, will begin to starve the day after tomorrow).  After seeing that his family was hindered during the siege, Zhengliang immediately thought of a way, which was to concentrate part of the gunpowder carried by the iron artillery squad, and then create two huge improvised explosive bags.  Then they concentrated their manpower to create a giant "shield" to cover the "demoman" when they arrived at the city gate.  It took a total of two days of tinkering.  Finally all preparations were completed yesterday.  So these explosive packets were immediately deployed today.  To be honest, Zhengliang was also worried that these simple explosive packs would not work.  You must know that these two explosive bags have gathered all the gunpowder reserves of the iron cannon squad. Now the iron cannon without gunpowder has become a fire stick without one.  And if these explosives do not work in the ongoing siege battle, then they will have to temporarily withdraw their troops.  Then wait for the navy to deliver the siege weapons before launching the attack.  Fortunately, there are two city gates.  Although the explosion at the west gate did not blow the city gate open, the gate was opened.  At this time, the soldiers of Yoshida Shigemasa's right formation, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately rushed into the gate of the hand and fought straight into the city from here.  After a scuffle, the door to the west of the Dashoumen was also opened by Luo family soldiers from the right formation, and at the same time the front formation where Aguda was located also poured into the ministers.  The defenders, who had only a few hundred people, were obviously outnumbered when faced with an attack of nearly a thousand people. Some of them immediately dropped their weapons and raised their hands to surrender, while the other defenders who were still resisting were besieged by the Luo family soldiers.  And die.  As defenders, Sugi Takakage and Sugi Shigeki were also captured in the fierce battle.  These two people were unlucky enough. They were exchanged from the Luo family by the Ouchi family with great difficulty, but they eventually died in the hands of the Luo family.  While a fierce battle was taking place in Kokura Castle, the left formation of the Roshi family, which was encamped in Shirakawa, southeast of the Roshi family's main formation, also encountered the joint reinforcements of the Sugi family and the Nagano family who came to rescue Kokura Castle.  Since the Luo family was blocked from attacking Kokura Castle, the Sugi family and the Nagano family, which were closest to Kokura Castle, were finally shocked by the Luo family's sudden invasion of Bunzen country.After coming back to his senses, he immediately organized a part of the army to go to Kokura City for rescue.  After all, Kokura Castle is the gateway to the Kokura Plain of Bunzen Country. Once Kokura Castle is lost, the Luo family's next attack target will naturally be the territories of the Sugi family and the Nagano family.  "Haha, good time!" Looking at the fierce allied forces of the Sugi family and the Nagano family coming from the south direction along the east bank of the Murasaki River, the commander of the left formation of the Luo family stationed in the north direction of the east bank of the Murasaki River was laughing when he executed Tanakane  got up.  "My lord, would you like to ask your lord's opinion first before attacking?" said the more cautious military commander Shingoro Roshi.  "What are you waiting for? Your lord has already sent someone to inform you. Moreover, judging from the distance between where we are stationed and your lord's main formation, by the time your lord's order is conveyed back, we will already be at war with the other party." Lieutenant General Uemura  Motuna said.  "That's right, don't wait any longer, let's attack!" Akaike Nagato who was already fighting on the other side said.  "The decisive battle is today!" The executioner made up his mind at this time.  "Haha! I'm going to beat up those brats in front of me!" Marumame Yorimi yelled with a hot temper, waving her fists.  Seeing the expressions of these people, Roshi Shingoro knew that there was no need to say anything anymore, so he also drew the sword from his waist.  Prepare for battle.     that's all.  After discovering each other.  The two armies immediately and silently began to form formations in the north and south directions of the river beach on the east bank of Zichuan River.  "Is this the military strength of the Luo family? Is the other party planning to attack first?" said Sugi Shigekuri, the commander-in-chief, in the military formation of the Sugi family and the Nagano family.  In his view, the Luo family's military force was divided into several small square formations, arranged in echelons, with a slightly convex front end, forming a fish scale formation.  "Don't underestimate your opponent! After all, the opponent is the army of the invincible Hizen Eagle!" Nagano Yoshifu, the governor of the Nagano family on the other side, said.  Compared to the Luo family, the overall formation on their side looked okay, but the soldiers seemed to be mixed.  Many peasant soldiers even carried bamboo as weapons.  He only has bamboo armor on his body.  Some of the people on the other side were wearing a type of armor that they had never seen before (the Luo family's unique armor was only used by standing ashigaru), while another group of people were wearing armor that was currently popular among various wealthy families.  Ordinary and adequate.  The Luo family is much better than their own side in terms of formation and weapon preparation.  "Hmph, the other party only looks like there are about 500 people, and there are more than 1,000 people on our side. Why should we be afraid of them?" Sugi Shigeki said coldly.  Speaking of which, Sugi Shigeki, as a traditional wealthy family, was very disdainful of the sudden rise of the Luo family, especially when he thought of the Hizen Takashi who was still closely kowtowing to Ouchi Yoshitaka, he was even more disdainful.  Now that Nagano Yoshifusa was letting others show off his dignity in front of him, he was naturally very dissatisfied.  "Then I'll leave it to the guardian to direct everything." I saw Sugi Shigemiki's expression was unhappy.  Nagano Yoshifusa said immediately.  Soon after, the combined forces of the Sugi family and the Nagano family began to move towards the Luo family.  After the distance is close.  The six teams of soldiers sped up and left the formation and began to contact the Luo family's troops, attacking the first-line reserve team in charge of Akaike Chang Ren.  As soon as the two armies met, the Luo family was at the top, suppressing the combined forces of the Sugi family and Nagano family outside the spear formation.  Shingoro Roshi, the military commander in the rear formation, was counting the casualties on both sides.  Most battles between powerful daimyo during the Warring States Period were low-intensity wars, which meant that not many people died in head-on confrontations.  The average soldier is quite powerful if he can withstand a casualty rate of 10%.  Being able to withstand 20% casualties without retreating is considered an elite force.  "It won't be long before the first line of the combined forces of the Sugi family and the Nagano family will retreat." Looking at the battle situation in the front line, Roshi Shingoro said confidently.  Sure enough, the first group of the Sugi family and Nagano family allied forces fled backwards after a few samurai roared.  "Sir, let's start the pursuit." Marume Yorimi, who was on the left side of the fish scale formation, called for battle. His army was not in the first formation, and he had long held a breath in his heart. "The other side's soldiers can be dispersed in just one attack."  "Wait, look over there!" General Tanaka pointed at the battlefield. The second formation of the Sugi family and the Nagano family quickly took over the space left by the retreat of the Luo family.  pursuit.  "Even if this is the case, we can defeat it with one blow!" Marumame Yorimi said, "Sir, please give the order." "Well, it's almost done. Send the order, and the whole army will attack!" At this time, the execution of Tanaka also felt that it was almost done.  So he immediately gave the order.  Although there are only 500 people on their side, there are 250 standing ashigaru squadrons. Even the other 300 peasant soldiers are here as standing reserve peasant soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is much better than that of ordinary peasant soldiers.  Much more"Ha!" Yorimi Marume, Motosuna Uemura, and Shingoro Roshi, who had been waiting for a long time, shouted with all their strength, turned around, and ran to the front of their respective counter formations to command, "Get ready to attack!" "  Line up and raise your spears!" "Fool!" The spearmen in the Luo family's formation immediately raised their spears.  There is a slight distance between people and they stand at attention in three rows.  "Slowly move forward!" "Fool!" The Luo family's phalanx responded with a cry and began to move forward.  The bangs coming out of the armor were like angry waves, each one drowning out the other.  "Kill!" "Kill!" The Luo family's phalanx shouted every five steps.  The white flag and the black eagle crest of the Luo family look like a flock of eagles rushing forward when they move.  The spears are like a forest, the military trumpets are like thunder, and the morale of the Luo family's army is greatly boosted.  Akaike Nagatomo, who was in the midst of a fierce battle with the opponent in the vanguard formation, was inspired by the momentum of his family's military formation in the rear. He stood up first and shouted: "Young men, your army is here to support us! We can defeat the enemy in one go!"  "After shouting.  The vanguard rushed towards the third formation of the Sugi family and Nagano family coalition forces.  "Kill!" Akaike Nagato's troops roared and charged behind Akaike Nagato.  "Hmph. I plan to break up my military formation. Just a few people are just wishful thinking!" Seeing Akaike Nagato's squadron charging over and killing him, Sugi Shigekumi said with a bit of disdain.  Immediately, he commanded his troops to begin encircling and annihilating the square formation before the troops behind Luo's family arrived.  "Haha! The more brats of the Sugi family, the better!" Seeing more and more enemy troops surrounding them, Akaike Nagato fought wildly with his sword and laughed, "I'll chop, I'll chop, I'll chop  "Kill! Kill!" At this time, there were roars from behind.  Huge screams began to echo over the entire battlefield.  It turned out that the Luo family's military formation from behind arrived in time and at an extremely fast speed.  "Level the gun. Quickly move!" The general commanded loudly while holding the gun level.  So the surrounding spear ashigaru immediately leveled their weapons and trotted forward.  Upon seeing this, Sugi Shigemiki in front immediately separated four groups of ashigaru from the combined forces of the Sugi family and the Nagano family to stop them.  "Get ready to engage the enemy, charge!" Seeing the enemy troops coming to attack them, under the command of the executioner, the soldiers of the Luo family raised their weapons and charged towards the enemy more than ten steps away.  The three-pointed spear formation was like slicing tofu, piercing into the joint military formation of the Rusugi family and the Nagano family.  The spear head instantly stabs the enemy and penetrates from the back. The human body hangs on the spear like a skewer.  The effective spear preparation requires a strong swing of the gun to draw the weapon.  "Slow down, Qianqiu!" The executioner issued another order.  The spear ashigaru immediately changed from thrusting to striking, and more than a hundred spears were struck up and down at the same time.  If you look at it from above at this time.  You will find that the Luo family's gun array is like a broom sweeping away the Sugi family and Nagano family's coalition forces, and the Sugi family and Nagano family coalition forces fall down in rows.  An allied soldier of the Sugi family and Nagano family was stabbed in the thigh and fell to the ground thinking he was dead.  Seeing the Luo family's spearmen stepping over him, they didn't seem to notice him. Just when he was overjoyed, he saw a nodachi slashing at his head.  The Luo family soldiers marched on the corpses of the Sugi family and Nagano family coalition forces. Akaike Nagatomo, who was at the forefront, did not know how many people had been killed at this time, and he was also injured as a result. I saw several stabs in his body.  There was only one arrow, but he still smiled and shouted: "It's so happy! It's so happy!" At this time, the executioner Kanekane and others repelled another wave of coalition forces from the Sugi family and the Nagano family. The fallen bodies were in pieces, and the blood flowed down the river.  It flowed down the slope and entered the Purple River next to it, turning the entire Purple River into a long bloody river.  Tsunekane was calculating in his mind: "If we repel another wave of enemy troops, the enemy's morale will collapse." Just as Tsunekane was doing his calculations, Sugishige Miki, who was on the opposite side, saw that his own army was two or three times the opponent's.  Being beaten back and forth by the opponent, he gritted his teeth and immediately took out his old tricks.  So under his command, the samurai team, all fully armored, swarmed over with many ashigaru.  "Qianqiu!" When the executioner Zhong Jian saw this, he was also frightened and shouted immediately.  "Bluff!" the Luo family's spear ashigaru roared, three spears danced up and down, and the front of the formation was completely enveloped in a forest of spears.  The Sugi family's allied samurai team, relying on their armor and martial arts skills, swept away the spears in front of them with their swords, rolled forward to avoid the incoming attack, and approached the Roshi family's ashigaru.  "As long as you break into this spear array, the opponent will be finished!" A warrior was about to get up when a cold light hit his shoulder and he was knocked to the ground. Then three or four three-pointed spears slashed at him with their edges.  He died after a few struggles.  These attacks came from the 2nd and 3rd row ashigaru.  Dozens of corpses instantly lay down in front of the spearmen's formation.  Seeing that they could not break through from the front, the Shan family coalition relied on their numerical advantage,The combined forces of the Sugi family and the Nagano family, under the command of Sugi Shigeki, surrounded the Luo family's army from the side.  In this case, the Luo family's camp became dangerous again.  ¡°Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo  Tanakane stabbed a Sugi family samurai to death with one shot, and then looked back.  In the distance, a black torrent was seen approaching quickly.  ¡°Rumble¡­¡± Then everyone felt the ground begin to shake.  "Ah, it's our cavalry squad! It's our cavalry squad!" the sharp-eyed Luo Shi Shingoro suddenly shouted from the rear.  "Ah! It's our reinforcements! The reinforcements are coming! Our reinforcements are coming!" A burst of cheers suddenly sounded in the Luo family's military formation.  "Kill! Reinforcements are coming! Kill for me! Don't let those guys from the cavalry division take away our credit!" At this time, executive Kaneya Tane shouted!  "Kill!" The morale of the Luo family's army was immediately boosted.  On the contrary, seeing the black torrent ahead getting closer and closer, the morale of the soldiers on the Sugi family alliance dropped instantly.  "Master Guardian, what should we do?" Seeing the Luo family's cavalry reinforcements getting closer and closer, Nagano Yoshifusa couldn't help but ask.  "Retreat, retreat!" Sugi Shigekuri on this side suddenly changed his expression and ordered immediately.  The reason why Sugishigeki made the decision to retreat so decisively was because he had roughly estimated the number of cavalry coming from the Luo family to help.  Oh my God!  There were at least four hundred riders.  This is really the largest cavalry division in the Kyushu region.  In such a plain area, when the infantry encountered such a large number of cavalry, they would simply end up being massacred, so he gave the retreat order without hesitation.  "Ah? Sir, wait for me!" After giving the retreat order, Sugi Shigeki immediately pulled the reins of the horse, turned the horse's head and fled.  Nagano Yoshifusa, who finally reacted, immediately exclaimed.  "Whoosh!" "Hiss!" Unfortunately, a stray arrow suddenly shot from the front at this time, and it just hit the left eye of the horse under the crotch of Nagano Yoshifu who was turning his horse's head.  The war horse neighed, stood up, and unloaded Nagano Yoshifusa from the horse. Nagano Yoshifusa screamed "Ah" and fell directly to the ground.  "Ah! The lord has run away!" At some point, someone from the Sugi family coalition exclaimed.  "What?" "Run away!" The soldiers of the Sugi family and the Nagao family alliance immediately turned around and ran away.  "Kill!" The Luo family's army behind him immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued it.  (The new book "The Giant Tree Lord" has been released. The ISBN is 3452023.
